Akashi-Tai Junmai Tokubetsu Japanese Sake 720ml

Produced by Akashi Sake Brewery in Hyōgo Prefecture, this is a Tokubetsu Junmai sake, indicating a pure rice style made without added alcohol and meeting enhanced polishing or production standards. Brewed using locally sourced rice and traditional methods, it is designed to highlight balance, texture and the natural umami of the rice.

Tasting note:
The sake shows a clear, bright appearance, with a gently expressive nose of steamed rice, cereal notes and subtle orchard fruit, alongside hints of banana and light nuttiness. On the palate it is medium-bodied and well-structured, with a rounded texture and balanced acidity supporting flavours of rice umami, pear and soft melon. A delicate savoury thread runs through the mid-palate, adding depth without weight. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering umami, light spice and a dry, balanced close.

A versatile and food-friendly sake, offering clarity, balance and a refined expression of the Tokubetsu Junmai style.
